LiveWallpaper?

Are there live wallpapers on the glaxy s because they would be smooth as with tht prosesor and tht screen

Additionally, the Samsung I9000 Galaxy S packs all the updates brought by Android 2.1, like several new widgets and Live wallpapers as seen on the Nexus One – so, no need to envy Nexus One users for the animated homescreens, but keep in mind that this puts a strain on the battery.

Hi, I have the Samsung Galaxy S, my Live Wallpaper previously works on all menus like the Home Screen and Program menu. when I changed the live wall paper, only the Home Screen has it, the program menu is only black..
How can I set the Live Wallpaper on the program menu?
Thanks

Thanks good to know they are there
@DaRkMyk
I dont think they would display on the proggram menu they don't on the nexus either but i dont know for sure otherwise when the phone is rooted im sure its possible to make the menu transparent so that the live wallpaper is visible

my bad... yup.. the live wallpapers only works on the home menus... this is my first Android phone and i thought i did something...
i hope it can work on all menus....

well on my nexus the live wallpapers worked on all the menus.. but i was running cyanogen, but they also worked on all menus when i was running froyo as well. actually i mean on all home screens is that what you mean.. yes they did not work on the launcher/apps list

Thanks but i think he was talking about the app tray and system settings kind of things

are they smooth scrolling from screen to screen???

I suppose they would be i do not yet own one but i have been on one at the vodafone store and they are very smooth and are infact faster than the n1

16m colors or 65k colors only? pls look at the image

BTW my Menu:

And you noticed that in that picture!
No idea mate - does the wallpaper setter scale down the pictures to some kind of jpeg?

Mmmh that's weird..perhaps android compresses the image chosen as wallpaper pretty much like win7 does? BTW in my humble opinion you should share that wallpaper wether we get the hang of this or not

Hahaha, i just made the wallpaper. Even i view it on gallery, still the gradient is linear. Am a graphic artist that is why it is very easy for me to notice this.
Ok, will upload the original wallpaper later on my pc, so you can test it on your desires. Thanks guys

So do you think, this type of rendering is normal? It's like we're using 65k color format.

He is telling you to download a program called "Wallpaper set and save".
I have used it too and for some reason, it seems to make the wallpaper look better.
You should try it out.
And share the wallpapers so that we can see if ours do the same.

hahaha, my mistake, ok, let try that, thanks

WOW! that really did the job, thanks a lot. so the "gallery" of htc sucks i guess, or the graphic rendering of either Eclair or Froyo sucks, co'z as i still browse on the gallery, the linear gradient of the image still exist.

[SOLVED][Q] Main Wallpaper is getting distorted - How do I fix it?

Does anyone else experience this problem:

Where the background from a hi-res picture looks like crap after putting it through the wall paper chooser.
It seems to happen to all images (downloaded or taken from the camera), but it doesn't happen to default background images.
It's also cutting off a good portion of the picture. I don't know if this is specifically related to ADW Launcher or if it is related to the entire system.
The lockscreen isn't having as many issues (if any).
I have tried low res pictures, 720p pictures, and 1080p + pictures, and they all seem to have the same thing happen to them. Not sure what would be causing this issue.
Full picture can be found here: http://www.androidwallpapers.eu/wallpapers/picture/nature/1234.html
EDIT: Forgot to tell what version. I am on Stock Odex'ed EL29 with Rouge CWM Repack. This is a clean install.
This happens when selecting other wall paper as well:
Again same thing. I specifically choose a 480x800 wall paper on interface lift, even though it seems to want to serve a 960x800 picture. If I narrow the selection of the orange outline, it just zooms in further so the picture becomes more pixelated and distorted.

Try using the app quickpic from the market. It gives you an option to set wallpaper from there. See if it does the same thing.

Thats really annoying / lame, as I don't remember having this happen in older builds. Thanks for the tip.

Back in the day I used to use an app called Wallpaper Set and Save. It's a little cumbersome to use if you change wallpapers alot but it works well in ensuring no banding or distortion.

Wallpaper wizardrii solves this. Its in the market free. It allows you to set landscape as is etc. I have yet to found a wallpaper it can't handle.
I dl the image and set as my wallpaper for an example.

Unfortunately this issue is occurring again with FE13, and the above suggestions don't seem to be solving the problem.
Anyone have any other idea?

Sorry to bring up an older thread but was this issue ever figured out? It doesn't happen with my home screen wallpaper but rather with my lockscreen.
I adjust the box to the area I want and it won't 'zoom' to that area. It remains the same and basically blows up that area to the screen size when I set it. It looks like hell.

I did resolve it with the Homescreen, but I haven't had the issue with the Lockscreen. I don't know if quickpic can set the lock screen or not.

Absolutely position

Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to get absolutely position on my home screen and other screens for folders and icons without using a launcher?
Thanks

I read this three times and I still don't know what your saying. Can you reword it.

When moving icons and folder on a screen you cant just put them anywhere you want its locked to a grid so is there a way to be able to put folders and icons anywhere you want on the screen?

If you want your folder/app stick to the point where u left your finger and not in the 4*4 grid - so you want it to stick at the exact position - well you can't. Don't know even why would you like to do that? You could mess with your shortcuts easily

Hope fully this will give everyone a better idea of what I am on about.
This first image shows the amount of space available on the screen

It would be nice to have total control but unfortunately we don't. I used to have launchers plus on my desire and it is probably the kind of thing you are looking for. Instead of a 4x4 grid you can change it to many others. For instance a 5x6 which would nearly double the amount of icons you could have on screen. You could also resize widgets which was handy. And if I remember correctly you could even have more quick launch icons at the bottom. Very nice app.

It's nothing to do with the one x. Your launcher and widets are crap.

I think he probably means metro. Launcher 7 doesn't scale very well, so I guess I'm looking for one too.

I like how it says "Windows 8 PC HD" and yet it uses elements from XP (background) and icons from Vista/7. Not even worthy of $0.99...
But yea I too think the op meant Modern UI (Metro is deprecated), which, would seem "interesting" on an actual touchscreen in my opinion.

best bet would be to use another launcher to increase the desktop grid, find/make the icons you want and use desktop visualizer to mimic the W8 layout..
another option is to actually create a wallpaper with the layout you want on it and then overlay desktop visualizer widgets over parts of the wallpaper. Here's some old wallpapers i used on my old Aria using this method. Maybe it'll help you to get an idea.

multipicture livewallpaper in conjunction with the above methods and can also be used if you want to use dif images per desktop and to tweak the desktop "page turn" animation

Holy crap dude that looks good!!! Desktop visualizer confuses me lol can't figure it out

haha thanks.
It isn't too difficult once you figure it out. Essentially its just a resizable launchers. You set an app/action to launch and an image for said action.
In the case of the photos above, the icons and everything are actually part of the wallpaper image. DV is used just to overlay the areas of the wallpaper that I want to be a button, set the widget to open the app portrayed on the wallpaper then the image is just a transparent png.
in the case of attempting a Windows 8 theme, you could basically grab a W8 screenshot trimmed to your desired resolution, overlay a DV widget over the individual launcher icons on the wallpaper, set an app to open and use a transparent image.
